I love technology breaks! Although I work online, I grew up pre-Internet and with rotary phones. I have no difficulty setting down my phone and walking away! One of the reasons summer has become my favorite

Here in USA we are also seeing more and more exchanges excluding US users. Makes it very difficult to move crypto around. I currently use SimpleSwap to trade Hive to LTC which is very broadly available,

Indeed! In the end, the only people who really benefit have the least part of the process: the shareholders. As a consumer it makes me doubly grateful for our local farmers markets.

Six years is a long time in the online world! Well done, for hanging in there. I remind myself, from time to time, that this is my blog I am keeping here, and I am not a columnist under contract to some

Beautiful, and a lovely reminder of a place I used to visit often, many years ago... I spent most of my teenage years near San Roque and around the Campo de Gibraltar. Gaucin is such a lovely village!
